- Heat oil in heavy iron pot over medium heat. Add in flour very slowly, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon till roux is medium brown. This will take from 30 to 40 min.
- Add in celery, onions, green onions, green pepper, garlic, and parsley;cook an additional 45 min to an hour, stirring constantly. (you may cut cooking time at this stage, but gumbo will not be as good.)
- Fry okra in 2 Tbsp. shortening till brown. Add in to gumbo and stir well over low heat for a few min. (at this stage the mix may be cooled, packaged and frzn or possibly refrigerated for later use.)
- Add in chicken stock and water, Woster sauce, tabasco, catsup, tomato, salt, bacon, ham, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hrs.
- About 30 min before serving time, add in cooked chicken, crabmeat, and shrimp; simmer for 30 min. Add in oysters during last 10 min of simmering period. Add in brown sugar. Check seasonings and add in more if needed.
- A bit of lemon juice may be added at the very last, if you like. Put a generous amount of warm, cooked rice in soup bowls; spoon gumbo over the rice and serve at once.
- Yield: 12 large servings.
